Out July 10### The Last of Us Complete: Collector’s Edition - PS5

Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete promises to deliver the complete story that inspired the HBO TV series. According to the official description, players can expect "definitive versions of two award-winning games" enhanced by graphical and gameplay improvements tailored for the PS5.

This bundle not only includes the main storylines but also the additional content released over the years. Fans can enjoy the Left Behind prequel DLC, centered on Ellie, as well as The Last of Us Part 2's No Return and Lost Levels content. For newcomers drawn in by the HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, the digital bundle is available for $99.99.

In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog's Head of Studio, Neil Druckmann, announced the upcoming launch of a physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition on July 10 for $109.99, with pre-orders now open. This special edition includes a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a personal thank-you letter from Druckmann.

Druckmann expressed gratitude in his post, stating, "From our entire studio, thank you so much for your incredible support for The Last of Us and Naughty Dog over the years. This is such an exciting moment for both the franchise and our teams. We are so humbled by your personal stories of what the series has meant to you, have marveled at your incredible Photo Mode shots, and inspired to keep pushing ourselves forward to create more stories and worlds you’ll love."

Originally launched for the PS3 in 2013, The Last of Us has become a beloved staple in the PlayStation catalog. Despite receiving numerous re-releases and remasters, which have drawn both criticism and praise, the series continues to captivate audiences. The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, remade for the PS5 in 2022, and followed by The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, which was remastered in early 2024. Both titles have also made their way to PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 released in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered arriving just last week.

The Last of Us Complete consolidates Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic narrative into a single package, aligning with the excitement surrounding HBO's The Last of Us Season 2, premiering its first episode this Sunday. Season 3 was recently greenlit, adding to the anticipation.
